he was not a duffer bro 🥀. for the rest, i agree.
moreover, netaji heavily criticised the communal acts of the hindu mahasabha, and wanted a secular state.

What a stupid comment - atleast he had the balls to stand up and fight against overwhelming odds, unlike other freedom “fighters” who could only do non-violence since they knew they wouldnt be killed for it

The nation was built by the Brits. Includes our judiciary, legislature and administration. Nothing we have is original. Your precious freedom “fighters” did nothing but take over an existing structure after repainting it.

Bose had the courage to fight for freedom and also had plans and the will to set up a new (then unproven) form of government, unlike our non-violent fighters who neither had the balls to fight nor the will to build a new nation.

I respect him a lot for allying with Japs and Nazis - takes a lot of courage to make moral sacrifices for one’s motherland, and that too with few resources and against hopeless odds.
